Etymology
Romanian borrowed "exploda" from French "exploser" during the wave of Latin-Romance vocabulary that reshaped the language in the 19th century. The French verb itself descends from Latin "explodere", literally to drive an actor off the stage by clapping and hissing. Over time the sense shifted from theatrical rejection to the sudden, violent release seen in a blast. The Latin root "plaudere" means to clap or strike.
